Overall I like the new cinfiguration menu very much. But I still have a three suggestions to imrpove the layout:

1) The Zoom box is too small: I can only read "Windowed, 3x Z".
2) What is the difference between the buttons "Apply" and "OK"? Only whether one exits the options menu or not? Or are there more subtle differences?
3) Remove the "Game Options" setup if nothing can be changed there. These options are mainly for testing purposes anyway, so I expect that most packs will have them disabled. So there is no real reason to show them the player every time.

Hm, it shows fine for me... could be related to screen resolution though. At any rate, there's enough space to expand it, so I can definitely do so.

Whether or not they exit the menu is the only difference.

Code (FNeoLemmixConfig.pas line 88 to 97) Select
procedure TFormNXConfig.btnApplyClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  SaveToParams;
end;

procedure TFormNXConfig.btnOKClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  SaveToParams;
  ModalResult := mrOK;
end;

I'll see what can be done in this regard.




Okay, done! For the next update, I enlarged the Zoom dropdown box, and hid the "Game Options" tab on games that do not have any options from that screen enabled.
